Ideal Woman :: -- William Shatner

I want you to be youDon't changeCause you think I might like you to be differentI fell in love with you

I don't want you blondI don't want you not to swear, not to swepIt's you I fell in love withYour turn of phrase, your sensitivity, your irrational movesWell maybe that could goBut everything else, I want you to be you

I want you to dance whenever you feel itUp by the bandstandIn the parking lotUp on the tableWell, maybe the table can goBut I want you to be youI love what you wear cause you're wearing itThat shawlThat clinging dressThe svelte black jacketThose leopard caprisWell, maybe not the caprisBut I want you to be you

I love what you eatYou want yogurt? you got yogurt!Papaya? it's yours!Chewing gum? chew away!I just want you to be you...

Spit out the gum, it doesn't work...

When you sleep, you're the most beautifulIn the moonlight, your soft skin glowsYour hair scroll on the pillow a visionThe murmuring breath, the slight snoreThe slight snore...I want you to be you
